Playing an MP3 file

[webhigh]

Hello:

I've searched the forum for over an hour now and have not been able to find a good answer as to why an MP3 file will not play. I've adjust the template.php file as suggested in a topic and I can get the MP3 to auto play in the Mac OSX Theme (haven't adjusted the theme.php in the others - using this to test) but it comes up with a Click here to download link that doesn't work when you click it although the file is there because it plays.

My question is how can I get a player with all the stop - play - forward- rewind etc... to show. This shows up in the other themes but it will not play the MP3 nor does the auto start work or the media controller that's displayed.

you can view it here - http://www.whateverswhatever.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=3&pos=1 and select a theme to see what I mean about a media player controller showing. I know Coppermine doesn't have a media player per say but I can't find any instruction on how to install one - I do have Windows media player installed on my computer along with Real Media, Quicktime & itunes. So what am I missing here ?

I also uninstalled all plugins.

Any help here greatly appreicated.

Thanks

Ok figured out what I was doing wrong with the Click to download button - had to add a file call "download.php" to the root directory of the gallery using this code in the file itself. But how can I show a player controller ?

Thanks

When offering a download link, you will of course see no player controls - that's expected behaviour, as the file then gets downloaded to the visitor's client. Coppermine doesn't have control over files once they are downloaded.
